my seppuku painting flanked by suehiro maruo and ken-ichi murata – it was sold very quickly – in fact there was a “lucky draw” for it apparently – my other painting for part ii of this exhibition (starting next week) already sold too – perhaps one of the unlucky contenders for seppuku decided to take that one instead?

the catalogue, a 130 page hardback book (3500 yen) – i’m a bit unhappy with how my contributions were reproduced (too bright / washed out / weak) but the rest of it looks nice

i was lucky enough to go on a day when tama was there herself (up from osaka) – we’ve linked to each other’s home pages for years and swapped a couple of letters earlier this year, so it was very nice to finally meet her – she’s as beautiful as her artwork in person – i bought her latest book collection (above) which she signed for me with a nurse drawing ♥

i have a few copies of the span art book/catalogue – price would be $50 – write to me at baby_art[at]hotmail.com – alice book next may, maybe…

tama, yes, many of her paintings had sold – she’s still a little unknown so her work is relatively inexpensive at the moment – she is also highly productive (almost everything in the show was new – she could make another book already) …which could be dangerous for maintaining a “supply and demand” balance
